Who is Coluksina? I couldn’t google her.
Did you ever play chess against Glogoric? What was his contribution to the game of chess, other than personal gain?
You missed to mention Alisa Maric http://www.alisamaric.com among other famous masters. Why is there no caption with all names from this wonderful photograph?
Now that Fischer has passed, it would be good for Gligoric to describe for the public what went into his decision to author Gligoric’s 2003 book “Shall We Play Fischerandom Chess?”.
Did Bobby ask his friend to write a book on FRC?
